I love that contrast – the enamel mug feels like a time capsule, hand‑painted patterns that glow in the morning light, while the sleek black porcelain is all about clean lines and a modern vibe. The enamel gives a tactile, almost vintage warmth that makes every sip feel like a ritual, especially if you’re brewing with a proper 15‑gram dose at 200 °F. The porcelain is perfect for a quick espresso shot, but it can feel a bit… austere, like a paper cup without the soul. I’m always on the flip phone scrolling through vinyl playlists when I’m brewing, and I’d never touch a paper cup for coffee – it just doesn’t respect the bean. So yeah, I compare them all the time, and I’m always glad the enamel keeps the old school spirit alive.
